This had affected me... I discovered this when starting menulibre, as a parse error.

On diagnosis of my system, I was just going to remove evolution and reinstall it to to see if that fixed the problem...

# sudo apt-get remove evolution

Even though the evoltution-calendar.desktop file existed in my /usr/share/applications directory, the system (in fact) was correct in saying it couldn't find evolution in the run path... Because on my system (at least), the Evolution package was not installed.

So:
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install evolution evolution-ews

Now menulibre parses evolution-calendar.desktop correctly on my system (and it shows in the Gnome Application Menu DropDown), because it is "now present" in the PATH on my system... (LOL) That was my work-around.

On my guess of what happened to cause this for me on my old laptop?:
   I had installed Lubuntu 18.04 (32 bit), not 64 bit version like the OP... I had then installed Gnome 3 Desktop and Ubuntu Desktop... in ubuntu-desktop, while installing default apps of, I think it ommited the Evolution package.
